I began my career in the Marine Corps in 1991 as a bulk fueler. I enjoyed my time in the Marine Corps and it was one of the defining moments of my life. But as much as I loved the Corps, I couldn't see myself pumping gas for the next 25-35 years. So I crossed over to the Navy side of the house, serving as an Operations Specialist with detachments for the USS Bristol County and USS Copeland from 1993-1994. I was released into the IRR at the end of 1994 and finished my contract there. I returned to the service joining the Army in 2010 and continue to serve as a medic now. When I leave full time service with the Army I've toyed with the idea of going for a fourth branch and going into the Coast Guard Reserves or Air National Guard.

Will do. That would be a very exclusive "club." I've known a few that were three-peater's like myself, but no one that's done four.

I changed from the Navy to the Army. I loved the change.

My 1SG was prior service USMC and was one of the finest leaders I ever knew. He said he learned to lead in the Corps.

I am glad I had the Army experience, but my CG time has been more than I could have hoped for. Glad to be in such great company with all of you multi-service people!

I enlisted in the Navy (84-96). Then became a chaplain in the Army and inter-service transferred back to the Navy. While in the Navy, I did a tour with both the Marines and Coast Guard.

There was a captain in my platoon in Ranger school who had just transferred from the Air Force (can't remember his MOS) to the Army Infantry. Ranger school was his first Army assignment. It was a rough transition.
